ramp impact

I recall an event some years ago when a passing 75 wacked the tail of a Midland 737 at the marshalling point 24l mctr

The Midland had not been albe to pull forward to the line

There was v serious outcome, I think the 737 was an eco nomic write off wacked tail detached nose leg etc. They had to repair it as no suitable replacement could be found

I can't remember what the outcome was but the argument went something like; you were not properly parked, you should have checked clearance you can see our tail we can't see if it clear of the taxiway
